While Netflix doesn't release viewership data, this is one clear indicator that The Haunting of Hill House was a massive hit for the streamer.

Haunting creator Mike Flanagan and his longtime Intrepid Pictures partner Trevor Macy have signed a big overall deal with Netflix that includes a second season of the anthology. Sources say the pact is for four or five years and worth in the low eight-figure range. Given that Hill House was the duo's first series, that sum is considered a sizable investment from the streamer that changed the overall deals space after handing out nine-figure deals to ...

The stars of Showtime’s new late-night series “Desus & Mero” stand ready to unite a bitterly divided nation with rapier wit delivered with Bronx flair.

Desus Nice and the Kid Mero were revved up Thursday night as the they gathered with friends, family and crew members in at the Clocktower in Manhattan for the premiere screening of first episode that was shot earlier in the day before a studio audience.

“The audience gives you that instant feedback and the jokes just keep flying,” Mero said. “We recorded for three hours. It wasn’t because of technical difficulties. It was

Empire is no longer standing by its man. The Fox drama has suspended Jussie Smollett in the wake of the actor’s arrest for allegedly staging last month’s hate-crime attack against himself. Smollett’s sorta-dismissal comes as the Fox drama was winding down production on Season 5; there’s no word how his character Jamal’s absence in this season’s final two episodes will be explained.

It's been a long week, and the TV news has been especially batty lately. But in the spirit of keeping you informed and entertained, here's our weekly dish of superlatives for the stars and shows that caught our attention.

Biggest case of Fomo: Survivor: Age of Extinction's season premiere started out

More than 12 hours after watching this week’s The Orville, I remain quite shook (if I may appropriate the slang of a different generation).

Seriously, Wtf was that?!

The seventh episode — the first half of a two-parter — of the Fox adventure series’ strong sophomore run found the crew setting course for Isaac’s home planet of Kaylon, after the science/engineering officer suddenly powered down. Upon arriving on Kaylon 1, Captain Mercer & Co. received as warm a welcome as one might expect from a species of synthetic, mechanical lifeforms. Their leader, Kaylon Primary, explained that Isaac had been deactivated now that

It takes a lot for a single person to go out into the middle of nature and prove that they have the skills and the ability to survive. Ed Stafford is one of those individuals that has done it and even gone on to show people just how he’s done it in so many different ways. While shows like his have often been criticized and even ridiculed for being anything but authentic there are those that firmly believe that what he’s done is nothing short of amazing given that he’s gone out in the wild with virtually nothing but the

With the 2019 Oscars just days away, late night television programs “Desus & Mero” and “Late Night With Seth Meyers” aren’t hiding their shade for Peter Farrelly’s nominee “Green Book.” Both programs aired critical takes of the divisive race relations drama during their February 21 episodes. While “Desus & Mero” took more overt shots at “Green Book” with a parody entitled “The Greenest Book,” both hot takes called out the film’s white-savior narrative and how that storyline has long appealed to the white male-dominated Academy.

“Green Book” is nominated for five Academy Awards this year, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Viggo Mortensen, Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. The drama won the Producers Guild of America prize, which has made it a leading contender for Best Picture against Netflix’s “Roma.” Ali is currently the frontrunner to win the Best Supporting Actor prize.

On Thursday, The Daily Show‘s Trevor Noah was the first late-night host to weigh in on Jussie Smollett’s arrest, as well as the alleged motive for staging a racist and homophobic attack against himself.

“A month ago, few people knew who he was,” Noah began. “But now, the whole world knows Jussie’s name, and it’s for all the wrong reasons.”

According to Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, Smollett staged the attack because he was dissatisfied with his Empire salary. (Sources tell THR, though, that there have been no signs that Smollett is dissatisfied with his pay.

There are those actors that can level you with a look, and then there are those that need to talk but when they do so can send a shudder down your spine or warm your heart without fail. Christoph Waltz is one of the latter since just his look his enough to tell that he’s skilled, but when he starts to talk he’s the kind of guy that can really make you feel warm and tingly inside or make you wonder if he’s going to be choking you to death in the next few seconds. He’s playful yet stern, wise

Young and the Restless fans are all kinds of shocked at the way things are going down around here.
